This blog is called Dead Theologians because I prefer to read the works of Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Edwards, Whitefield and the like rather than 99% of today's wasted ink on paper.
The content on this page is my honest attempt to go over things that pertain to Christianity and its mouthpiece, the church.
I also plan to write about many other topics that relate to my life as a Christian. My goal is to comment throughout the week on one subject while changing subjects every week or so.

How To Raise a Crook

I came across this several years ago.

HOW TO RAISE A CROOK

1. Give him/her everything they want. This way they will grow up to believe that the world owes them a living.2. Never give him spiritual training. Wait until he is twenty-one and then let him decide for himself.3. Avoid using the word “wrong.” It might make him feel guilty and his school-work may suffer.4. Do not make him work at home. Do his work for him, so he will learn at an early age to leave responsibility to others.5. Let him watch anything he wants, so he can learn from television how to get along in the world.6. Give him spending money so he won’t be frustrated by having to earn his own.7. Do not make rules for him-you might make him angry at you.8. When he gets bad grades, blame the teachers.9. When he gets in trouble at school, blame the principal.10. When he loses his job, blame the boss.11. When he gets caught drunk driving, blame his friends.12. Let him experiment with sex, alcohol, and drugs so he will be able to make an educated decision.13. Buy him a car as soon as he can drive so he will have the freedom to go wherever he wants.
